What's new in midwifery - 7th July 2021

Some things you might want to know about.    If I see something on Twitter I think you ought to know about, I (@knockels) retweet it with #whatsnewinmidwifery.   Those things may well not be listed on the blog.

First a systematic review of whether cold gel or ice packs have an effect on episiotomy pain.

Then, a Dutch cohort study of whether excision of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia can lead to preterm birth.

And then, a systematic review of the efficacy and safety of non-pharmacological interventions to manage labour pain.

And two items from the news, both from the Guardian:

About the Commons Health Committee report on the number of preventable deaths of babies in NHS hospitals in England.

And a comment piece on the same issue.
